It would be great if at breakfast there was ham or something similar. The pillows were too thin and they should be folded in two so as to get a proper thickness.

This hostel is excelent. But if you want fun, forget it. The rooms are very nice and clean. Is not very near to the city, but ok. Something i didnt like was that i have to pay for internet! Was the first hostel i had to pay...

Very modern, clean and safe hostel. However, it does feel a bit institutional, and not really within walking distance of much that you would want to do or see, so you need to catch the metro/tram etc to get to most places. Still, a good place if you need a safe and clean environment.

Bit out of the way but close to the underground. Rooms are extremely small and walls are thin. Way too many rooms for the size

está lejos del centro histórico y el barrio es algo desangelado, igualmente podés llegar al Belvedere caminando. Es muy limpio, el desayuno correcto, el personal correcto . Faltaría algo de diversión.

As you arrive there, ask how much is the cost for breathing, probably will be the only thing they dont charge. Everything is paid. Internet (4 euros per hour), towel, the lock to use in the room's locker etc. Also, the location isn´t that nice, like 4 long stations to the center town.

Lacks character and fun. It's completely safe and very clean. However, the hostel is almost seems sterile with rules like: No patio traffic after 8pm - character and fun are lacking.

Ok location, only three stops from city centre. The rooms are very clean with great beds, but they squeeze 6 into a room that should only have four. The bathrooms are good too though. Needs a bar or more atmosphere.

Overall not a bad stay in what is quite an expensive city to stay. hostel fairly easy to find and check in was fairly hassle free. Good bits : Clean and comfortable, good breakfast, power shower! Bad bits : Common room was very sterile and boring, expensive internet, location quite far...

a little far from the center of vienna, but you can walk there in about 20 or 25 minutes, or take a 3 or 4 minute walk to the underground and ride up 2 or 3 stops (and the vienna underground is very good). the hostel itself was very clean and professional, no frills but no problems either. if... more a little far from the center of vienna, but you can walk there in about 20 or 25 minutes, or take a 3 or 4 minute walk to the underground and ride up 2 or 3 stops (and the vienna underground is very good). the hostel itself was very clean and professional, no frills but no problems either. if you can manage the location (which is really not all that bad), it's a good place to stay.close

I would recommend this hostel to anyone. It was very clean and the staff were excellent. It's not right in the heart of the city, but there's a tram stop and a metro less than five minutes away and it's only a couple stops on the metro to get to the center. Breakfast was pretty basic but... more I would recommend this hostel to anyone. It was very clean and the staff were excellent.
